AMERICAN ARTISTS LAUDED.
Madame Schumann Heink. the dis
tinguished (contralto, has Just come out
in an interview in New York City with
a scneme to make San Diego, CaL. the
home of an American National school
of music, an American Bayreuth. Her
Bummer home is in the suburbs of 6an
Diego and she is much interested in the
welfare of that city. She is one of
tne principal promoters of the Ban
uiego uubIo festival July 7. 19 and
21. Several other wealthy residents of
San Diego have given large donations
in support oi tne festival.
love America ana i want to see
prosper the muslo talents of the peo
ple oi mis great country," said Madame
Schumann Helnk in her New York In
terview. "I think it such a pity that
tne young artists here are forced to
go abroad- This country In 1u tm.
ing with talent and what becomes of
an tnese peopleT Why, German and
Italian opera-houses are Just filled
with them.
"They are forced to go away to earn
their spurs before we will listen to
them here. . I. want them to have their
opportunity here and it is with this end
in view that we are planning to make
this school. ' It shall be a free school
and there will be oreratlc festivals
every year. In that way we shall train
our young artists.
"This year at our music festival we
have tried to get all the Americans we
can, but as yet they are not sufficient,
so artists from the Metropolitan will
take part as well.
"Madame Brenske, Paul Althouse and
Mabel Rlegelmann, all Americans, will
sing, but the chief roles will be taken
by Mesdames Oadski, who Is so inter
ested in our success that she is not
only going to sing Brunhilde's and her
other famous ro-les. but is alun rnin
to be the sandman and dewrman in
"Haensel und Gretel"; Frieda Hempel
and Gorltx.
"When I say Oorita I think of him
not only as the singer, but as also the
boss of the affair! He Is general man
ager, stage director, organizer, super
intendent and everything else you can
Imagine. He is Just 'it.' as we say In
America.
"Antony Hoff will conduct the per
formances and at the conclusion of the
festival he will be the resident con
ductor. According to present plans
he will go to San Oiego in April and he
will begin to drill the music talent In
that city to take part in the chorus and
orchestra.
"The members of the Metropolitan
will be the mainstay of our orchestra
and chorus, but we must begin to train
our Americans immediately, for, later
on. you must remember, the whole per
foYmance will be given by our very own
artists. What a happy day that will
be and with what feelings of pride and
Joy we will listen to that perform.

SYMPHONY IS NEXT SUNDAY.
The programme for the fifth con
cert this season of the Portland Sym
phony Orchestra, at the Eleventh-Stree
Theater, next Sunday afternoon. Feb
ruary 25. is weli calculated to please
every music lover, regardless of - the
extent of his musical training.
The symphony chosen is Goldmark's
"Rustic Wedding," in five movements,
each descriptive of some episode In a
Oerman countryside wedding. The first
in the "Wedding March." consisting
of a rollicking. Joyous theme and sev
eral variations. Then come the "Bride
Song," "Serenade," "Garden Scene," and
"Dance." This work is eminently char
acteristic of Goldmark's fertility of
musical resource, and his remarkable
industry In other matters ot creating
strikingly beautiful themes. The har
monious coloring of the work is also
noteworthy.
The second number is the Justly
famous "Rienzi" overture, by Wagner.
With Its tremendous orchestration and
majestic tonal effects, it forms a strik
ing contrast to the Goldmark work,
which Is about to receive its first per
formance in Portland.
The next selection is "The Wand of
Youth," with the sub-title. "Music to a
Child's Play." Edward - Elgar, easily
England's greatest present-day com
poser, is its creator. This work is also
new to Portland. The first movement
is a march, calculated to rouse all. Then
comes "The Bells," full of delicate, will-o'-the-wisp
effects. The other move
ments, -entitled "The Tame Bear" and
"The Wild Bears," are serious con
trasts. The suite is a remarkable
tribute to Mr. Elgar's versatility and
familiarity with the resources of the
modern symphony orchestra.
Two shorter numbers r-.re Massenet's
"Under the Leaves," and Boustet's
"Dream After the BalL" The Massenet
number, from the "Alsatian Scenes." is
an evening scene, with a charming'
duet for cello and clarinet. The other
is a pizzicato number, in lighter vein.
Franz Liszt's beautiful "Les Pre
ludes Symphony Poems," No. 3, has
been chosen for the closing number.
jar. unristensen will be director, and
Carl Denton concertmaster. Friday
morning tne orchestra will hold its
unai renearsai, when students of Jef
ferson High School will be the orches
tra's guests.
FESTIVAL PLANS GROW.
BY FREDERICK W. GOODRICH.
Much has been done lately toward
the organization of the Portland Musi
cal festival Association, in charge of
tne music to be rendered at the -open
Ing of the Civic Auditorium, In June or
July.
The board of directors, composed of
well-known business men and progres
sive musicians, has held regular week
ly meetings and as the result of their
aeii Derations all matters connected
witn the coming Festival are being
boi graauaiiy into shape. The finan
cial scheme of the Festival should
appeal to every person interested in
the art of music In our city. The board
is asking for 1000 guarantors of 110.
Only $5 of this amount will be called
up from each guarantor, and in return
tor tnis sum each person who thus
guarantees will receive two of th.
best seats In the Auditorium for each
night of "the Festival. Only In the
event of a total loss on v the Festival
will It be necessary to call up the other
o. ana as tnere will be nearly 11,000
seats to be sold after the guarantors
are supplied with their tickets, there Is
not mucn likelihood or this eventuality.
Many promises have already come In
